In Luke 1:5–25, we meet Zechariah and Elizabeth—an elderly couple who walked faithfully with God yet lived through deep disappointment. After 400 years of divine silence, God breaks in with a stunning announcement: He is still working, still faithful, and still keeping His promises. Through the angel Gabriel, God promises to send someone who would prepare the way for the coming Messiah. Even in Zechariah’s moment of doubt, God remains gracious and moves His mission forward. Pastor Jacob Ambrose reminds us from this passage that God is always working beneath the surface, even when life feels cold, quiet, or confusing. In the silence, in the struggle, and in every season of waiting, God is faithfully shaping His people for His glory and their good.
